Aimed at better understanding on implementation, expectation and commitment of AUN/SEED-Net scholarship among scholars, orientations are normally held for newcomers. This is a good chance for new scholars to learn rules and regulations while getting to know AUN/SEED-Net staff in-charge as well as other scholars at the same Host Institutions. Since Phase 2 the Secretariat has encouraged orientations via teleconference in place of traditional visits for cost saving.

During study, the scholars will be monitored regularly to ensure their satisfactory performance and to identify any hindrance. The Secretariat sets up monitoring scheme in two levels: internal assessment and external audit. Internally, scholars are requested to submit a Progress Report at regular intervals. Externally, the Secretariat together with the JICA team for AUN/SEED-Net carries out monitoring visits to Host Institutions to gather feedbacks on difficulties, problems, and recommendations directly from the faculties and the scholars. The monitoring visits also allow the Secretariat to interact with the faculties involved in shaping up the desired structure of some programs of study.
